Advocacy

The CMA holds regular meetings with key officials, including the Minister of Canadian Heritage, department officials and Members of Parliament and the Senate. Meetings are also held with members of opposition parties.

The CMA has made formal presentations before the House of Commons Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage and to the Standing Committee on Finance for budget consultations, and is consulted regularly on key issues affecting museums in Canada.

August 2017 – Standing Committee on Finance

The CMA made a submission to the House of Commons Standing Committee on Finance in response to its annual consultation in preparation of the next federal budget. This year, the Committee sought submissions on the topic of productivity and competitiveness. Our submission therefore presents recommendations for the 2018 budget in that context.

June 2017 — Government of Manitoba

The CMA made a submission to the Government of Manitoba in response to a consultation on the development of a new cultural policy for the province. Our submission tied some of our current initiatives to questions raised in the government’s discussion paper
